NOT use any ammoniated, abrasive, or solvent-based

cleaners of any kind.

Studio Series Windows Only:

Use a good grade of automotive paste wax and buff with a

soft cloth. Windows should be cleaned and waxed at least

once annually or more often based on the atmospheric

conditions where installed.

Caution: Use care when handling decorative windows to

avoid scraping or scratching the surface.

NOTE: Minor scratches or scuffs are not considered

1400 West Market Street

defects and will not be covered under the window warranty.

Painting preparation: Clean surface first with a diluted

solution of Trisodium Phosphate. The recommended

concentration is 1/3 cup of powder to 1-1/2 to 2 gallons of

water. A cleaning pad (3M Synthetic steel wool GRAY not

green) should be used saturated with this cleaning solution.

Rub with even pressure to lightly scuff the surface while ap-

plying the cleaning solution over all surfaces to be painted.

A final wipe and rinse with clean water and sponge should

be done to remove any loose material. Change water often

to ensure clean rinse and allow to dry. Pre test your paint

on a small area (see paragraph Paint below). If the paint

shows signs of poor adherence, (tape test below) there may

be a problem with the paint or the surface preparation. DO

NOT PROCEED! A new paint or further preparation of the

surface is called for.

Alternate cleaning compounds: Areas of the country that

do not carry Trisodium Phosphate can use a biodegradable

cleaner with the cleaning pad above. Follow above

directions to rinse completely and pre test paint.

Painting: Your steel garage door can be painted with a

high quality 100% acrylic latex (flat, satin, or semigloss)

exterior grade paint. Before painting the door it must be free

of dirt, oil, caulk, waxes and mildew.

Do not use any type of oil based paint or Alkyd modified

acrylic latex paint. These paints will void the warranty of

your door.

Table of Contents

STEP 1 – Things to Know Before You Begin

• Read the instructions completely before starting the installation

of the door. Becoming familiar with the components before

assembling the door will reduce the installation time.

• Be sure all hardware components for your new door are included

before removing existing door (see pages 8,9). If your door is

missing any parts, call the toll-free Consumer Services number

listed on the front of this manual.

• Allow enough time to do the work; removing an existing door will

take approximately 1-3 hours.

• An assistant may be required for lifting the unsprung door. It can

weigh from 100 to 500 pounds.

• A typical installation takes between 9 and 12 hours to complete.

• Keep in mind when planning the installation that the garage

will be open and unsecured when disassembling the old and

assembling the new door.

• If the garage door is the only opening in the structure make sure

everything you need is inside. You will have no way of leaving the

garage until the track is assembled and installed. This will take

approximately 5 hours.

• To avoid damage to the door, you must reinforce the top section

of the door in order to provide a strengthened mounting point for

attachment of an automatic opener (see page 14).

• Low Headroom doors require special instructions. Options for

doors with low headroom can be found on page 5. Purchase

of additional hardware may be required. Check headroom

requirements in the chart on page 5 before beginning.

• To avoid installation problems which could result in personal injury

or property damage, never reuse old track or hardware.

• Doors installed in high windload regions (Florida and other high

wind prone areas) may require additional reinforcement beyond

what is detailed in these instructions. Please refer to supplemental

instructions for these areas.

• Express warranties apply only to doors installed using original,

factory-supplied sections, parts, and hardware installed in strict

accordance with these instructions.

Tools Needed

• “C” Clamps or Locking Pliers

• Hammer

• Screwdriver

• Tape Measure

• Level

• Socket wrench kit

• Pliers

• Drill, 1/4", 3/16", & 3/8" drill bits, and 7/16" socket bit

G01-R01-0704

• You can install your new garage door yourself IF…

a) you have help (it may weigh up to 500 lbs.);

b) you have the right tools and reasonable mechanical

aptitude or experience; and

c) you follow these instructions very carefully.

• Garage doors use springs to balance them. There are

two types of springs installed — extension or torsion.

Each of these is available in either a standard or EZ-Set

assembly option. Please look at the drawings on page 8 to

see which springs your old door has.

• If your old door uses torsion springs, do not attempt

to remove the door or the springs yourself. Have a

qualiﬁ ed door repair service remove them. Attempting to

remove a torsion spring assembly without proper training

or tools may result in an uncontrolled release of spring

forces which can cause serious or fatal injury.

• Only the track speciﬁ ed and supplied with the door

should be used.

• The brackets at the bottom corners of your garage door

are under great tension. Do not attempt to loosen any

bracket fasteners except when and as directed in

detail in the following instructions. Otherwise, the

bracket could spring out with dangerous force.

• Do not permit children to play beneath or with any

garage door or electric operating controls.

• In removing a garage door that has extension springs,

follow the instructions carefully, including the use of “C”

clamps or locking pliers on both sides of the door in

order to keep the door from moving once the springs are

removed.

• Keep hands and ﬁ ngers clear of section joints, track, and

other door parts when the door is opening and closing to

avoid injury. The lift handles are located for safe operation

as well as easy use.

• Bolts must be installed at the rear end of horizontal tracks.

These act to stop the rollers and keep the door from rolling

off the back of the track.

• Track installations must use sway braces on the rear track

hangers to prevent sideways movement. If the tracks are

not ﬁ rmly stabilized they might spread, allowing the door

to fall and cause severe injury and damage.

• Springs, cables, and bottom ﬁ xtures are under strong

spring tension. Do not attempt to loosen any fasteners

on these components. You could suddenly release

spring forces and risk severe injury.

• If the garage door and/or any of the supporting track

are damaged, operating the door could be hazardous.

Call an authorized representative of the manufacturer or

professional door repair service promptly.

• If repairs are ever required to your door, safety and

trouble-free operation can be best assured by using

original replacement parts.

• Once you have completed the installation of your new

garage door, please be sure that your garage complies

with all applicable ventilation requirements before you

enclose any vehicles in the garage. Good ventilation

avoids ﬁ re and health hazards caused by fumes

accumulating within a well-sealed garage.

• Clopay Building Products Company disclaims all liability

for any installation that is not in compliance with applicable

state or county building codes.

• Doors equipped with automatic door operators can

cause serious injury or death if not properly adjusted and

operated. To ensure safety of these doors:

a) test the sensitivity of the operator’s safety reverse

mechanism monthly;

b) if your door has a pull down rope, you must remove

the pull down rope;

c) make sure the door remains unlocked;

d) do not allow children to play with the controls.

STEP 2 – READ THIS SAFETY INFORMATION

IMPORTANT!

To Protect Yourself From Injury You Must Carefully Read The Following Safety

Information and Warnings Before You Install Or Use Your New Garage Door

In the interest of safety this symbol means WARNING or

CAUTION. Personal injury and/or property damage may

occur unless instructions are followed carefully.

WARNING

G01-R02-0905

STEP 3 – Check Headroom/ Backroom/

Sideroom

Headroom is the space needed above the top of the door for

the door, the overhead tracks, and the springs. Measure to

check that there are no obstructions in your garage within that

space. The normal headroom space requirement is shown in

Table 3-A. The backroom distance is measured from the back

of the door into the garage, and should be at least 18" more

than the height of the garage door. A minimum sideroom of

3-3/4" (5-1/2" for EZ-Set™ Extension Spring) should be

available on each side of the door on the interior wall surface

to allow for attachment of the vertical track assembly. The

rough opening should be the same size as the door. (FIG. 3-A)

Track Radius: The radius of your track can be determined by

measuring the dimension “R” in FIG. 3-B. If dimension “R”

measures 11" to 12", then you have a 12" radius track. If “R”

equals 14" to 15", then you have a 15" radius track. (FIG. 3-B)

Headroom requirements

The standard headroom space requirement is shown in Table

3-A at right. (See page 8 if you have a question on which type

of spring you have.)

Low Headroom? If you have restricted headroom, several

remedies are available. See Table 3-B for various options.

NOTE: Installation of the various Low Headroom Options

differs from the installation of a standard headroom door.

Supplemental instructions are included with the hardware of

each Low Headroom Option.

STEP 4 – Removing the Existing Door

Springs

Garage doors use springs to balance the door weight. There

are two types of springs used — extension and torsion. Each

of these is available in either a standard or EZ-Set

assembly

option. Please look at the drawings on page 8 to see which

springs your old door has installed. If your present door uses

standard torsion springs, do not attempt to remove the

door or the springs yourself. They should be removed by

a qualiﬁ ed door service professional. Attempting to remove a

torsion spring assembly without proper training and tools may

result in an uncontrolled release of spring forces which can

cause serious or fatal injury.

Extension springs and EZ-Set

Springs are shown on a

sectional garage door in the illustration on page 8 to see which

springs your door has. The following instructions detail how to

remove these springs.

Serious injury could result if spring tension has not been

released before other work begins.

Removing Extension Springs

Use two or more helpers to assist you in lowering

the door.

Step 4-1a: Raise the door to the full open position. Place “C”

clamps or locking pliers tightly on both sides of the track under

the door so the door is held securely in place. With the door

fully open, most spring tension has been removed. (FIG. 4-A)

Do not attempt to remove or adjust extension springs with door

in the down position. Use “C” clamps to keep the door from

moving or falling once the springs are removed.

Step 4-2: Detach the cable at both ends. Disassemble and

remove the springs and cable completely from the door.

NOTE: Wood blocks should be placed underneath the door

when closing to prevent ﬁ ngers from being trapped.

Step 4-3: Remove the “C” clamps from the track and carefully

close the door.

Some large doors might weigh as much as 500 pounds when

the spring tension is removed. The weight of the door will not

be apparent when you ﬁ rst begin to close the door. The door

will feel progressively heavier as it is lowered until its full weight

(as much as 500 pounds) is realized about one foot from the

ﬂ oor. A single car door may weigh as much as 200 pounds.

(FIG. 4-B)

To avoid injury, keep hands and ﬁ ngers clear of section

joints, track, and other door parts while the door is

opening and closing.

WARNING

Extension or Torsion

Springs

Step 4-1b: With the door in the DOWN position, position a

drill with a 7/16” socket bit over the worm drive. Using the

reverse (counter-clockwise) direction on the drill, remove all

the tension from the spring (repeat for each side). After spring

tension has been removed, detach the lift cables at both ends.

Disassemble and remove the springs and cable completely

from the door. (FIG. 4-C)

STEP 5 - Removing Door Sections & Track

Step 5-1: The door can now be disassembled. Starting with

the top section, remove the hardware and unstack the sections

one at a time. (FIG. 5-A)

Step 5-2: After all sections have been removed from the

opening, detach all remaining track and hardware from the

jambs. The hangers that attach the rear ends of the overhead

track to the ceiling (called rear track hangers) in many cases

can be reused on the new door if made of 13 gauge (3/32") or

heavier steel and is not loose or unstable. (FIG. 5-B)

To avoid installation problems which could result in

personal injury or property damage, use only the track

speciﬁ ed and supplied with the door. Do not attempt to

reuse old track.

STEP 6 - Preparing the Opening

Step 6-1: On the inside of the garage your opening should

be framed with wood jambs, 2" x 6" if possible. The side

jambs should extend to approximately the same height as the

headroom required. If you have just removed an old door, the

jambs should be inspected for the condition of the wood. If the

wood is rotten, it should be replaced now. The jambs should

be plumb and the header should be level. If there are any

bolts fastening the jambs to the wall, the heads should be

ﬂ ush so they don’t interfere with the installation of your new

door. (FIG. 6-A)

NOTE: Rough opening (without stop molding) = Door size

Step 6-2: Door stop molding should be temporarily nailed to

the edges of the jambs ﬂ ush with the inside. (FIG. 6-B)

Stop molding featuring a built-in weather seal is offered as

an option.

STEP 10 - Reinforcing the Top Section

for Opener

To avoid damage to your door, you must reinforce the top

section of the door in order to provide a mounting point for the

opener to be attached. You will need one (1), two (2), or three

(3) pieces of 1-1/4” x 1-1/4” minimum punched angle at least

13 gauge or 3/32” thick from your local hardware or building

supply store. Figures 10-B to 10-E show how punched angle

is to be afﬁ xed to door.

Horizontal Angle Attachment

Attach the horizontal punched angle (the longer piece) to the

top section as shown in Figure 10-A. Angle iron may need to

be trimmed depending on door section height and distance

between center stiles. Some doors with struts may not need

a horizontal angle; see Figures 10-B to 10-E to identify the

attachment method for your speciﬁ c door.

Do NOT install the bracket supplied with the opener.

Failure to reinforce the door, as illustrated, will void your

warranty.

Required Materials:

(1) 18" or 21" length of angle iron,

(2) #14 x 5/8” sheet metal screws, and

(2) 1/4” x 3/4” self tapping screws.

STEP 9 - Installing Door Sections

(Continued)

Step 9-6: Place the second section on top of the  rst section.

Drive a 3” nail in the jambs at each end and bend it over the

edges of the section to hold the section in place. Attach the

hinges from the top of the  rst section to the bottom of the

second. (FIG. 9-D)

Step 9-7: Place the third section on saw horses. Attach #3

hinges to the ends at the top edge and #1 hinges to all other

stiles along the top edge using #14 x 5/8” sheet metal screws.

(FIG. 9-E)

NOTE: If your door was supplied with more than 1 strut

(consult Table 7-A on bottom of page 10), use 1/4” x 3/4” self

tapping screws to attach strut as shown in the illustration.

When pre-drilled holes in strut do not line up vertically with

stiles, you will be required to drill (2) 3/16” pilot holes through

the strut and the stile at each end stile and each center stile,

or use a drill or impact wrench with a 7/16” socket to drive

self-tapping screws through strut and stile. (FIG. 9-E)

Step 9-8: Place the third section on top of the other sections

and nail in place as before. Attach the hinges from the top of

the previous section to the bottom of this section. (FIG. 9-D)

If you have two sections left, repeat Steps 9-7 and 9-8 using

#4 hinges on the end of the top edge and #1 hinges to all other

stiles along the top edge.

Step 9-9: Place the last section on the saw horses. Attach the

top roller brackets as shown. The top roller brackets are to be

attached with three (insulated doors) or four (non-insulated

doors) #14 x 5/8” sheet metal screws. The top of the bracket

should be located 3-1/4” down from the top of the door. The

bottom of the bracket goes in smaller holes 6-1/4” from top of

section. (FIG. 9-F)

If your door was supplied with any struts (consult Table 7-A

on bottom of page 10), use 1/4” x 3/4” self tapping screws

to attach strut as shown in the illustration. When pre-drilled

holes in strut do not line up vertically with stiles, you will be

required to drill (2) 3/16” pilot holes through the strut and the

stile at each end stile and each center stile, or use a drill or

impact wrench with a 7/16” socket to drive self-tapping screws

through strut and stile. (FIG. 9-F)

Step 9-10: Place a roller in the top and bottom brackets and

in the tubes in each of the hinges at the ends of each section.

Some hinges have two tubes. Place the roller in the tube that is

farthest from the face of the door. (FIG 9-G)

STEP 9 - Installing Door Sections

Step 9-1: Place the section in the opening so that it is against

the stop molding and centered from side to side. Place a level

on the section and use a piece of wood under one end or the

other (if necessary) to make the section level. (FIG. 9-A)

Step 9-2: Remove the level and drive a 3” nail in the jambs at

each end and bend it over the edge of the section to hold the

section in place. (FIG. 9-B)

NOTE: These nails are all that will hold the stacked door

section in place until the tracks are secured to the back jambs.

Be sure the nails hold the sections ﬁ rmly in position.

Step 9-3: With the Table 9-A below, determine the order in

which you will attach the remaining sections.

NOTE: If a lock assembly was ordered with the door, the holes

for the lock may be predrilled. (Lock templates are included in

the lock instructions for doors without predrilled holes.)

* Section with general safety label.

Step 9-4: Place the next section face down on the saw horses.

If your door is predrilled for a lock, this section will be the one

with holes in the center of the panel face. Identify the bottom

edge as shown in the illustration. (FIG. 9-C)

Attach a number 2 hinge to each end at the top edge using

#14 x 5/8" sheet metal screws. Remember that the number

is stamped on the side of the hinge that is to be attached to

the section. Attach a number 1 hinge to at each center stile

location along the top edge of the section.

Step 9-5: Keyed Lock Installation. If you wish to install a

keyed lock, begin the lock installation now according to the

supplemental instructions included with the lock hardware. If

your door did not come with a keyed lock, install lift handle as

shown on previous page.

STEP 7 - Preparing Bottom Door Section

Step 7-1: Spread the hardware on the garage ﬂ oor in groups

so that you can easily ﬁ nd the parts.

Step 7-2: Find the section with the aluminum weatherstrip

retainer fastened to one edge. The aluminum weatherstrip

retainer is on the bottom edge of the bottom section. Place the

section on saw horses face down. (FIG. 7-A) Be sure to cover

saw horses with carpet or cloth so as not to scratch section.

Step 7-3: Bend and break apart bottom brackets by hand

along end tabs as shown. (FIG. 7-B) Be sure to remove

connecting tab.

Step 7-4: Insert safety tabs on bottom bracket into slots on end

stile of door. Slide bottom bracket up to fully engage tabs. (FIG.

7-C) Attach all hardware with #14 x 5/8” sheet metal screws.

Attach the bottom brackets with two screws to the bottom

corners of the section. Screws go into the end stiles. Hook

the looped ends of the steel lift cable over the buttons on the

bottom brackets. (If your door came with standard extension

springs, the lift cables are the longer and smaller diameter

of the two sets of cable. If your door came with EZ-Set™

Extension Springs, do NOT attach lift cables at this time! Do

NOT use the shorter safety containment cables as lift cables,

as this can cause improper door function). (FIG. 7-D)

Failure to properly engage safety tabs on bottom bracket

into slots on edge of door can result in severe injury when

spring tension is applied.

Step 7-5: Hinges are identiﬁ ed by number 1, 2, 3 (and

sometimes 4, on 5 section doors only). This number is

stamped on the hinge. Attach a number 1 hinge at each center

stile location along the top edge of the section using #14 x 5/8”

sheet metal screws. The number is stamped on the side of the

hinge that is to be attached to the section. (FIG. 7-E)

NOTE: If Table 7-A below shows a need for a reinforcing strut

on the bottom section, it should be attached just above bottom

brackets. Use 1/4” x 3/4” self tapping screws to attach strut as

shown in the illustration. When pre-drilled holes in strut do not

line up vertically with stiles, you will be required to drill (2) 3/16”

pilot holes through the strut and the stile at each end stile and

each center stile, or use a drill or impact wrench with a 7/16”

socket to drive self-tapping screws through strut and stile.

(FIG. 7-E)

NOTE: Doors installed in high windload regions (Florida

and other high wind prone areas) may require additional

reinforcement beyond what is detailed in these instructions.

Please refer to supplemental windload instructions for these

areas.

STEP 8 - Lift Handle Attachment

Bottom Section

From the front of the door section, drill (2) 1/2" holes through

the section according to the Bottom Section Hole Pattern

(FIG. 8-B). A T-Square should be used to ensure that they are

vertically in line. If your door has an outside keyed lock, the

hole pattern should be drilled on the bottom section directly

below the lock. If your door does not have an outside keyed

lock, the hole pattern should be drilled directly below the hinge

closest to the horizontal center of the door. Install the lift handle

& inside step plate assembly using (2) #14 x 5/8" sheet metal

screws (Fig. 8-A).

IMPORTANT: Use a wrench or a socket to drive screws.

Do not over tighten. Do not use an electric drill or driver.

2nd Section (to be installed at the completion of Step 9-4.

Not Required on Doors with Outside Keyed Lock)

From the front of the door section, drill (2) 1/2" holes through

the section according to the 2nd Section Hole Pattern (FIG.

8-B). A T-Square should be used to ensure that they are

vertically in line. The hole pattern should be drilled directly

above the hinge closest to the horizontal center of the door.

Install the lift handle / inside step plate assembly using (2) #14

x 5/8" sheet metal screws (Fig. 8-A).
